    Reddit’s strategy is genuinely brain dead. Just think of the shit they’ve been up to:

    • Jacking up API prices to unreasonable levels and killing off third party apps that brought millions of users on to your platform
    • Continuously make the UI shittier and shittier to the point where it’s unusable
    • Do the same with the app
    • Kill off old Reddit which is the sole reason millions of users still use the site
    • Add awards and expand the feature to basically become paid reaction emojis
    • Remove awards even though they were one of the biggest revenue streams
    • Announce it was a mistake and add the awards again
    • Add avatars that nobody asked for and make some of them paid
    • Add a premium subscription that does nothing and do absolutely nothing to improve it
    • Add a bunch of useless features that nobody uses like Reddit live

    Truly the works of geniuses.
